Without this, you must have a design that is perfect for all users for all purposes. With it, the user has the ultimate authority over their device, their personal information and their bandwidth bill. No real-world engineering system can be so perfect as to not need timely maintenance in the face of the unexpected (or noted but unwisely dismissed) problems which develop over its user life, and no carrier update system is going to be reactive enough. Android does not provide app-store-level auditing, which is is fine (welcome freedom to publish, really) - but android also does not let users perform necessary permissions maintenance in the face of new security threats, especially those unwisely played down by google. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Security Discussions" group.
